That period of mid-sleep wakefulness is hardwired into humans.
It was/is an important way to keep fires going as well as engage is social and other intercourse.
If there are no fires or others, use to time to relax and think (not worry) things over.
I like to imbibe as much as anyone, but this is not the time.

The day before you were worrying about the crop is ready to harvest, you can't find help, and there's a big storm coming.
How in hell can you wake up in the middle of the night and not worry?

Sleep? I haven't had a good night's sleep since the day the old Queen died. (Gawd bless 'er!).

I wake up about 0230 and normally remain awake for at least two hours.

It's got nothing to do with worrying about sheep stealers, cattle thieves or the fire going out.

Heaven knows what's behind it but the whole thing is a right royal pain in the arse.

And furthermore, why does the spell checker put a red line under 'arse'?

See? I told you it makes me annoyed.

Use that time to explore your sexuality. ;)

I'm too tired. :)

Perfect, smoke a bowl and go back to sleep.:joint:

Looks like I saw my last trick-or-treater about 20 minutes ago; so, good night Halloween.

Bought candy, and no trick or treaters.

I've lived here 40 years and had one T-or-Ter about 35 years ago. I guess she warned her friends.

WIN!!!

Unopened sack of Snickers awaiting decimation.

We don't get trick or treaters down here.

This is possibly due to several of the residents being far more frightening than anything the kids could dream up. :eek:

I don't need Snickers, or 3 Musketeers.

See, I need peanut butter Snickers.

I just yawned.

C'mon pills.

Goodnight, Cellar.

Maybe.

Sleep is for pussies.
